I did it like this:
# Note that while each script call produces two output files, to be
-# parallel-make safe we need to split this into two rules. (See for
-# example gram.y for more explanation.)
+# parallel-make safe we need to split this into two rules. (See notes

#
There are a whole lot of other cross-references to that same comment,
and they all look like
# See notes in src/backend/parser/Makefile about the following two rules
I considered modifying all of those as well, but decided it wasn't
really worth the trouble. The Makefiles' days are numbered I think.
